Breitenfelde is part of the Amt ("collective municipality") Breitenfelde.
From November 1944 to April 1945, an external command of the Neuengamme concentration camp was housed in Breitenfelde. It comprised 20 prisoners who had to do forced labor for the SS-Bauleitung Mölln in the sawmill of the Karl Gülzow company.[3]
